Droplet Precaution! Help

Hi Guys!

I am currently studying for my NCLEX RN examination. I am using Kaplan book and questions for my preparation and I am kind a confuse in some of the points in Droplet Precaution. I learned from the content that Pneumonia is PART OF DROPLET PRECAUTION, but as I answer many questions, I encountered lots of questions about it with different type of Pneumonia. Such as Hemophilus Influenza type A or B , Pneumonia S. aureus , Pneumonia cystis jivoreci etc. I reviewed the rationales and some of them are required to have Droplet precaution and some are Standard Precaution which made me CONFUSE. Can anyone help who knows exactly which precaution to use? :uhoh3:

    One time I looked this stuff up on the internet and found a good link from the Centers for Disease Control. I decided at the time that I would use this as my source and compared with the answers others were presenting here, it seemed to be a good source. I don't know how far I would go in trying to memorize all of the details for X number of diseases. Chances are low that you would get very many questions. I don't recall any infection control questions, then others say they got plenty of infection control. Sometimes you have to make a conscious decision how much you can take in, and draw the line.
